TASSA is a non-profit organization, established in 1994
– an association that promotes knowledge, skill and professionalism
in the use and application of Financial Technical Analysis (“TA”)
as an investment and trading decision support tool.

Technical insights assist investors how and when to use
“fundamentals.” TA is not just a timing tool as consensus
would often have it.

Investment industry professionals and private investors
are discovering the power of Financial Technical Analysis to add to returns
and risk performance. Technicals alone or used in conjunction with economic
research, cycles, quant methods and fundamentals- can be a vital strategy
tool – enabling an edge in selection, allocation, timing and risk
management. Recognising the bridge between Technical and Earnings Analysis
is one of the most important trends in modern investing.

The association also aims to promote a relatively new discipline
in Southern Africa, although well established internationally.

TASSA is a member of the International Federation
of Technical Analysts. TASSA can provide its members with pointers to
courses and to the process of obtaining various Financial Technical Analysis
professional qualifications.

Associate membership of TASSA does not confer any professional
recognition status as competent in the use or application of Financial
Technical Analysis in the investment industry or otherwise.

Our associate members and invitees attend presentations in Sandton and occasional presentations in Cape Town at a reduced price. The public is welcome as well. We offer webinar presentations or presentation meetings most months of the year.

Presenters are typically investment or trader professionals
who talk on technical analysis methods and systems. There are occasional
talks on Trader Tools, electronic trading and investment and managing
behavioural aspects that impact on trading and investment decisions.
